This is a chords version of Forget the Swan - made this as I find it a lot easier with
laid out like this when I'm singing the song. Hope it helps some people out there and
me a rating if you like. Can't wait to see them in London on December 6th!

VERSE 1
[Am]It's floating t[Em]hrough the a[Am]byss[Em]
[Am]Under the bri[Em]dge my he[Dsus]ad swings d[Em]own

And stepping on these pieces of pain and smirk
And rape goes through to sin my eyes
And shapes know where the heartache will lurk

[Am]Forget the sw[Em]an, a stone s[C]wims near[D]
A stone has come, if I could cheer
Forget the swan
Forget the swan

[G]How I tried to warn my neighbor[Am]
But the corn was much too high
In confusion up and threw him, woke up every day
But it's not too late brother, I'll still say you were mine
CHORUS
[Am]Forget the swa[Em]n, a stone swim[C]s near[D]
A stone has come, if I could cheer
Forget the swan
Forget the swan
